Lumiappaday #240: FlashVideo for WP7 demoed on the Nokia Lumia 900

This is an app called “Flashvideo for WP7” and from the name  you can guess that it allows you to play flash videos on your Nokia Lumia.

It’s a little pricey at $4.99/£3.99 but if watching flash videos on mobile is important to you then you might want to take a look at this app. The guy who made this says he’s a student and he’ll be trying to do at least monthly updates. A trial is available so you can see if your favourite flash video sites will work on your phone.

The ones I tried do so I picked it up. When there’s a link to a flash video, press the scan button and the video player will start. It will buffer and play (or even resume where you were last). You can even download these videos so you can watch them later at your own time.

I’ve had this app as a trial on my 800 for a while but it didn’t work the first time I tried it and had ignored it up until now. As you can see in the video it streams high quality stuff quite well. The 900’s screen is pretty nice for viewing videos.

Before you ask, YES even those sites work. Tested it. For science.

The trial version opens this market page every 3 minutes but you can go back to the movie. A guide can be found in app. Be calm, it’s something very experimental (because every site that gathers video links is different), probably you will meet small problems.
